Digestive issues like gas, bloating, and acidity are very common, especially after eating oily or heavy food. Instead of taking chemical antacids, try this natural remedy with ajwain and black salt. It’s safe, effective, and approved in Ayurveda for better digestion.
Why Ajwain & Black Salt Work
- Ajwain: Contains thymol, which boosts digestive enzymes and reduces gas.
- Black Salt: Naturally alkaline, it relieves acidity and improves bowel movement.
Together, they act as a powerful digestive tonic.
